Siskel & Ebert review 1979’s “The Rose,” discussing Bette Midler’s raw, star making performance as self destructive rock singer Mary Rose Foster. Directed by Mark Rydell, the film co stars Alan Bates, Frederic Forrest, and Barry Primus, and features a soundtrack that became inseparable from Midler’s screen persona. The critics focus on the film’s emotional intensity, Midler’s fearless acting debut, and the thin line between performance and vulnerability that defines the movie. #TheRose #BetteMid
